95 The Quarrel

Finally the class was over but no one had the slightest idea that the real life drama would then begin.

We were heading towards the station. Brother Henry's Sister Kelly also joined us.

Lacy was acting suspicious since the drawing class. I pulled her by the hand and asked,"What's wrong with you? "

I could clearly see her tear stained face and the puppy eye look. With one glance I was confirmed that it must be something to do with Brother Henry.

"Nothing Sonnet. Just some dust particles. "

"You know you are too bad at lying. I know you very well. "

"Just tell me. I will help you out. "

She explained everything to me. I never knew my brother was that silly. She couldn't reply to his text because of the strict teacher's class. One can clearly understand that if one studies in our college. But he quarrelled with her claiming that she is slowly day by day fleeting away from her.

Seeing these two's candid condition I texted him and was trying to explain. But he went deaf ears. Finally I explained that she was very much eager for Valentine's Day. I, being her friend, can only wish for their happiness and union.

And left. The day passed and I felt tense. Suddenly Lacy texted.

"Sonnet, Good news. He planned on our meeting."

"That's great dear. Only one day left. Have you bought him the gift? "

"Yep! I bought that and he delivered a ring to me. "

"Oh wow. How Romantic! "

"Who is romantic? Hmph! Yesterday he was annoyed just like a vinegar man. "

"Yeah , but you gained happiness in exchange if I'm not wrong. "

"Yes! "

I could clearly imagine Lacy's blush across the phone. Her heartfelt happiness. It made me happy.

Just then Sky called me up.

"Sonnet, are you free right now? "

"Yes."

"I have a problem while coding. Can you try the second assignment's 6th question? "

"Um... Sure. "

"Thanks a Lot! "

"Again, Sky. "

"Oops.Its okay. I can tell you but you cannot. "

It's already the 13th.I know very well my day would be just simple.

No surprises, no love but yes life. Life with him today. We would be together. Only that would be enough for me. To be able to chat and spend time with him is more than enough. And seeing Lacy's and brother Henry's progress with crystal rings and wrist bands made me happy yet a slight hollow and emptiness in my heart.

I started thinking about the program.Any approach to a program focuses on mainly 4 factors:

The language, the type of input, the format of output and finally the analysis of the input to output i.e,in computer terms the algorithm.

I follow this for any program.

I started thinking about logic. Taking one or two inputs. Then summing up to "n" terms for the code to run without exceptions. But the exception killed the program. I too got stuck. But I revised and finally got the crap error out of the code

I called up.

"Hello, it's solved. "

"Great.Tell me the code line by line. "

"Sure.I will be starting straight from the logic. "

"Ok."

"for (i=1;i<=n;i++)

{

....

}"

The code was really long. After that I drank water.

"Sonnet everything you have done is fine but still I can't find any fault. It's the same. "

"Check your initialisation. "

"It's fine. "

"Then I'm repeating it"

"Please repeat the first line once more. "

"for(i=0; ..... "

"Oh I got it. I had put < instead of<= . "

"I see. "

"Thanks."

"No thanks. "

"Only I'm allowed to say thanks! "

By now I was clearly blushing hard.

"What! "

"Sonnet"

"Yes"

Finally he whispered....

"Thank you for helping me every time I need it. "

Doot... doot.

The phone was hung. And in a flash I was in shock.

My hand covering my face whispered , "What have you made me become.... "
